USA Today reported that Brady searched unsuccessfully for the white
No. 12 shirt he wore while guiding the Patriots to the biggest
comeback in Super Bowl history, a 34-28 overtime win against the
Atlanta Falcons in Houston.

However, Brady told the media at a press conference later in the
morning that he is still missing his championship game jersey.

Brady and Roger Goodell posed together with the Super Bowl MVP
trophy to cap yet another comeback for the Patriots quarterback at
the George Brown Convention Center.

"I think James White deserves it, would have been pretty nice for
him," Brady said of the unsung third-down back who had a Super
Bowl-record 14 receptions and scored three touchdowns.

"He's just the best teammate. I'm so proud of him and everything
he's accomplished. That particular role in our offense, in the Kevin
Faulk mold, Danny Woodhead mold, Shane Vereen mold, what he and Dion
Lewis have done has been incredible."

The historic overtime of Super Bowl LI pulled in 111.3 million
viewers in the U.S. on Sunday night, down slightly from last year's
game, according to Nielsen and Fox.

The average audience on Fox was down from the 111.9 million who
watched Super Bowl 50 on CBS in 2016.

The viewing record was set in 2015 with NBC's telecast of Super Bowl
XLIX -- won by the Patriots over the Seattle Seahawks and watched by
an average audience of 114.4 million viewers.
